I have seen and killed more teal this year than I can ever remember. Have any of yall had a record number of teal this season? Usually by now we would be having lots of mallards but yesterday and today there was hardly anything but GWT showing up at our blind. Any thoughts as to what might be going on.

Sounds like you got ours. Here in Southwest Louisiana greenwings have always been number one in most bags, including ours, but not this year. My blind ended the first split with just 25 greenwings (and 101 mallards). This split we're finally seeing more and have shot 49 to date (and 88 mallards). So teal are still far from being as common as usual.

Same thing here in northwest louisiana usaully lots of teal, nowhere near as many this year. More canada geese this year than I have ever seen here before.

Lots of snows in SWLA, though nothing like what we had in the years prior to their discovery of good eats in more northern states. The days when they'd fly over everything south of their Swan Lake stopover to get down here are long gone.

Same as what Rick said, we are hunting grand chenier La. Greenwings just starting showing up good.. Still seeing blue wings, more than usual.. And have killed more mallards this year, not the numbers Rick has though.

Up here in Pennsylvania this year where I hunt, we saw huge numbers of Teal Blues & Greens in early October - November. Some days I just let them come and go, I didn't want to continue to limit out on Teals, I was after some variety.
